96 THE CHURCHES OF CORNWALL of the Passion ; not a little spoilt by enlargement at time of restoration. Wagon roof of S. aisle has exceptionally good carved timbers. Only trace of rood-loft is the opening in arcade. Many fragments of screen-work and old bench-ends disappeared dur- ing restoration of 1867. At that time an effectively carved mural slate memorial, erected in 1581, was moved from aisle to beneath tower; it commemo- rates various members of the Kestell family from 1520 to 1578.
